Welcome to this week's newsletter. In this edition we have all the latest news, events and offers from here at Prestbury Golf Club. Have a great week on and off the golf course. Enjoy the read! |
Captain vs Presidents
Last Saturday saw the opening of the gents Summer season with the traditional Spring Captain’s Team v President’s Team match. 60 gents took to the course which played extremely well with the greens running fast for the time of year!!
Although the Captain didn’t lead from the front he picked a very good team! In the top match I partnered the Captain against Graham Keys who deputised for the President on the course and Mark, unfortunately the game turned for the worse around the turn for us as Graham and Mark holed a few putts which put them out of reach, and they kept the advantage.
However, the day was a great success for everyone with a few good speeches and an excellent meal as always prepared by Richard and Claire.

Knockouts
This year’s knockouts will be drawn this week on Thursday afternoon and will be done online, there will be no sheets up on the board so you will need to update when you’ve won on the HowDidiDo website.

Halfway House
This Saturday the halfway house will be opening for duty for hot food and drinks during the stableford. We’re continuing the same system as last year with order cards available in the professional shop, with your order being delivered to you as you arrive on the 6th green.

There are still a few spaces left for The Master’s sweepstake if you would like to enter, come into the shop for more details. |
Bag Trade In If your electric trolley is struggling to make it round 18 holes then it might be time you upgraded its battery. There's been a huge push towards Lithium batteries in recent years as they last longer, charge quicker and are more lightweight than previous Lead Acid equivalents.
So, if it's time you change your electric trolley battery, bring your old one in-store and enjoy £25 OFF a brand-new Lithium one.

Quiz
Just for a quick recap, here’s a reminder of the questions that we wanted you to answer:
Q1) Wrong Drop - D - One Shot Penalty
Had Joe redropped the ball before hitting there wouldn’t have been a penalty. Or If the ball was hit from outside the relief area then it would’ve been a two-shot penalty.
Q2) Ball Moved During the search - C - No Penalty
The answer was to replace the ball on the original spot, instead of dropping as most people thought.
Q3) Ball Hits Player when Taking Relief - A - Play the Ball as it Lies
Play the ball as it lies, as long as the ball hits the ground before hitting the player and the player hasn’t stopped the ball deliberately then the ball may be played as it lies. Again, most people thought it would be a re-drop.
We had two winners which were Dan Osbaldeston and David Aitchison. Both have agreed to share the dozen golf balls between them.

| Boa constrict your footwear |
There's been two major trends in the golf footwear market in recent years: the first is the surge in spikeless shoes, and the other is Boa. So, what actually is the Boa Fit System and is it anything to do with snakes? |

|
|
No, it's nothing to do with snakes. Phew. Rather, the Boa Fit System has revolutionized footwear for the better and we absolutely love it. Instead of using traditional laces, Boa utilises a steel wire (virtually unbreakable) that is effortlessly tightened via an easy-to-use dial strategically placed on the shoe (seen above). To loosen, simply pull out the dial and open up at the tongue. |
With FootJoy's UltraFIT Boa, which is available in-store now, you will be guaranteed a comfortable fit every time safe in the knowledge that your laces will not come undone or get tangled throughout your round. If you haven’t already experienced Boa, then we implore you to come down to the store and try on this fantastic option today - no obligation. |
